Today was awesome. I spent 7 hours in the garden, pulling weeds, hanging out with the chickens and harvesting vegetables from the greenhouse.

The strawberries are back in full force again, and this time, instead of making jam or a dessert, I made focaccia bread. I had spotted this recipe from Saveur Magazine a while back and knew I wanted to try it. And I’m sure glad I did. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, and it goes Read More >>

I finally got around to planting carrots last night. After doing a little research online I discovered you need to plant carrot seeds about 10 -12 weeks BEFORE your first frost date.

If you have never grown heirloom tomatoes before, you are truly missing out. Not only are the colors amazing, but the flavors are too. Ours heirloom tomatoes have started to trickle in, and although there are not enough for a giant batch of homemade pasta sauce yet, there is enough for a batch of homemade salsa everyday.
